A three-storey house in the old city packed with around 15,000 objects of Indian daily life from across the country and across the centuries. The categories are unusual and addictive: nutcrackers shaped as parrots and lovers, ivory chess sets, oil lamps for every form of worship, painted doors and lintels, musical instruments, a complete recreation of a Mastani-era palace room.
You wander rather than tour. Allow at least an hour and a half; longer if you read the labels carefully, which is worth doing because many of the objects have stories pinned to them. The museum is on Bajirao Road in Shukrawar Peth, a short auto from Shaniwar Wada.
